“There was no talk of cislunar, and basically I was told, ‘Don’t talk about cislunar, and stop getting into it,’” Purdy said Oct. 21 at AFCEA’s Space Industry Days conference. ... The Space Force also has two requests for information it plans to release “imminently,” Purdy said. The first will call for existing commercial technology that can be ready to launch by 2029. ... The Space Force also has two requests for information it plans to release “imminently,” Purdy said. The first will call for existing commercial technology that can be ready to launch by 2029. “We’re looking for existing commercial or near-commercial means, non-developmental solutions, hardware with actual relevant evidence behind it, software that doesn’t need a huge amount of work … and ground systems,” Purdy said. “This isn’t a four- or five-year science project. This is about getting capability out soon.” The second request is for AI and autonomous processing capabilities for spacecraft operating in cislunar space. The goal is to have “a fully autonomous system out there at cislunar that’s able to handle all its hardware faults, all its processing, all the sensor activities,” Purdy said. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/space-force-cislunar-kit-2029-launch/
